WASHINGTON — The U.S. is working to expand its military presence in Greenland to three additional areas as it seeks to add locations for special operations and establish permanent access to Arctic waters, the commander of Northern Command said Thursday.

The expansion would take place on defense areas that were created by a 1951 agreement with Denmark, which controls the semiautonomous territory, and allow the U.S. to close vulnerability gaps in an increasingly contested part of the world, according to Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot.
